If you're a fan of retro-inspired JRPGs, you'll want to check out the new game, Endless Grades: Pixel Saga. This isn't about college exams, but it certainly offers a lot of "homework" in the form of engaging gameplay. Launched on Android and set to hit iOS on April 1st, Endless Grades taps into the nostalgia of classic RPGs with its pixel art style, though it may not reach the visual heights of games like Octopath Traveler. Nevertheless, its charm lies in its detailed graphics and the joy of exploring its world.
In Endless Grades: Pixel Saga, you'll embark on a journey to collect unique heroes, craft your own equipment, and dive into dungeons to battle demons and gather materials for upgrades. The game introduces an auto-battler mechanic, which might be divisive among players, but it adds a fresh twist to the familiar JRPG formula on mobile devices.
Average grades
Endless Grades offers a comprehensive JRPG experience, from character collection to crafting mechanics. However, the game's promotion of high SSR pull rates can feel a bit off-putting. It's perhaps more effective for the developers to let the game's retro-inspired qualities shine on their own merits.
